The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Wow, Manifesto - a combination of 13 vignettes that incorporate 20th century art movements, featuring poignant monologues by Cate Blanchett's tour de force. It's a mental gym session - be ready to stretch your mind - it's good for you

Cate is amazing. From the little quirks to the crescendos of drama, this film is one that rivals Carol in revealing the true talent this woman has. It's a little complex but you should care more about the overarching relevance on how we censor and control creativity in our culture and appreciate the wonderful acting performed. Look at this more as a Sundance film and less with that "Academy Award" lens because this is way different than her other work. It's best to just pop it in and have a nice night at home and think about art! Great movie!

The Manifesto is a German artist Julien Rosefeldt, played by Cate Blanchett's 13 different characters. Each character that Blanchett spots plays and sings passages from different manifestos. It's obviously a hard-to-follow, hard-core movie.Still, the film has a fluent narrative. Rosefeldt identifies each character with a manifesto. It is possible to say, "What does he mean?" As the words flow rapidly. Because the content needs to be placed in a context and doing so is not possible because of the "difficult to follow" that I am talking about.Although this situation reduces the pleasure of the film, it is not disconnected from the narrative that it reveals in general terms. Blanchett offers a one-man show. He did not portray his characters as if he had lived / lived. In parallel, I can say that atmosphere, make-up and fiction are also top level. It is also worth noting that the manifestos associated with Blanchett's performance, or the humor that he created about the contents ...

walking into the dark room of the second floor in the NSW art gallery surrounded by screens all playing simultaneously. You sit down, confused watching the last minute of any one short. It starts over and you are instantly captured by the character. Cate Blanchett's stage is calmly set with drone shots and slow continuous camera movements. Here on her stage she draws you into this character, and their life. Blanchett captures your immediate attention and holds it until the screen goes black.Some stories did not resonate with me but others drew me in and kept me sitting in awe.
